    That’s because there is no proof, at all behind these allegations. Given how much attention has been given to this case, I find it hard to believe that the accuser could ever come up with that proof or she would’ve by now.

    There is evidence, you just don’t want to believe it. Don’t pretend like there is no evidence.

    Mainers don’t want Platner with credible rape accusations either. Clearly.

    So let’s move forward.

      WHAT IS THE PROOF???

      I’m sorry to yell but SERIOUSLY? What is the MASSIVE OBVIOUS thing I’m missing that has you convinced this isn’t a political hit job to take out a candidate who was unpopular with the establishment on both sides? Is there seriously nothing suspect to you?

      You were content to call Platner a rapist before, now it’s just “credible rape accusation.” These are wildly different claims.

        Oh you have me mistaken, I believe Platner is a rapist.

        I’m not going to entertain this when you’re yelling at me. Absolutely not.

        Does it feel good to shout down women who have concerns over rapists being elected?

          You switch between “rapist” and “person with a credible rape accusation” when it suits your argument. Biden had a credible SA accusation, did you vote for him?

              Never said that they were. One requires proof and you using it interchangeably shows your dishonesty. If he’s found guilty of the accusation then sure, but until then its your personal speculation, which means squat.

                When only 2% of rapists ever see the inside of a courtroom, I don’t care what you think about my opinion here.

                    Keep defending the guy who willingly killed civilians, pissed on dead bodies, and raped women. It’s a good look.

        I’m sorry, but this is a pet peeve of mine and it’s actively hampering communication. Evidence is not proof. This woman’s statement is evidence, as is her email chain later with her therapist. Platner’s denial is also evidence. Neither is proof.
